Hmmm.... maybe I am missing something. Who would be the first agency you would go with if you had questions about concealed carry laws and CHL?srothstein wrote:El_Capitan wrote:Yes I did.

You obviously have a much higher opinion of DPS than I do. Contrary to popular belief, they are not the best cops in Texas, just one of the state police agencies with a really good reputation. With their primary duties, if I had a question about traffic laws or accident investigation, DPS is the first agency I would go with. But if the question involved how to handle a domestic disturbance or similar call, I would ask any municipal officer first. It the question was about hunting or fishing, a game warden would be the best choice, just as a TABC agent if it dealt with drinking laws. Even law enforcement comes with specialties sometimes.
When it comes to general criminal law, it depends as much on the trooper as it does any other officer. They have some good ones and some bad ones, just as any other department.

Yes I did. Carry past one and you may end up in jail. I think that all local police should HAVE to contact Texas DPS by law when dealing with the 30.06 code and only the Texas DPS should be allowed to enforce the 30.06 Code.

Re: Cities improperly posting 30.06 signs?
You guys should think about what your doing here. By posting pictures of 30.06 signs and pointing out they are NOT compliant to section 30.06 
you are letting those places know that they need to change their signs in order for them to be compliant to 30.06. If you see a 30.06 sign that is not compliant to the 30.06 section just carry right on past it and let everyone "think" 
the sign is keeping us CHL people out.
Some businesses may post a non-compliant 30.06 on purpose. Think about it. The anti CHL crowd will see the sign and think oh good no guns allowed in here but a CHL holder will see the sign know it is a non-compliant sign and will be able to carry legally. Then the smart business owner gets business from both the anti CHL crowd and the CHL crowd without taking flak from either side.
